[Plugin: Sidebar Login] User Roles based link visibility trouble

Details: Running Sidebar login 2.2.9 and WordPress 2.9.1. Everything else seems to work fine.

Hi gloda,

I was having this same issue too and FINALLY figured it out.

For example: I used |true|2 for a link that I wanted to hide from Subscribers and Contributors.

The user level number you use is for that level and up that you want to see the link.

Hope this helps.

Ah thanks mmucklow. I don’t know where I went wrong there; anyways it works now. I have Subscribers, Contributors, one Editor and one Admin.
-I wanted every registered user to see a private “help” page. So I appended no settings to that.
-I wanted contributors and above to see a link to “Write a new post” etc. So I added |true|1 to those links.
-I wanted Editors and Admins to have a link to the dashboard. So I added |true|7 to that.
Works now.

Hi there,

I can’t seem to make it work:

What I want is ONLY Admin see the Dashboard and Profile links…NOBODY ELSE.

Ok so, when I write “|true”, it’s hidden from everyone (which by the way is not suppose to according to what the author says…because using only “|true” should be enough for me because it says that if we put “|true”, it’s shown only to Admin)
So I figured, ok, I will add a user level also…so, correct me if I’m wrong but, if I only want the Admin to see it, by writing “|true|10”, it should work fine for what I want? Result: it shows for the Admin AND all the other users…and all my other users are “Subscribers”…that’s level 0, right? So they should’nt be able to see those links, since it’s “level equal or higher will show”.

Please help!

Thanx in advance!

same for me: using sidebar login 2.2.9 with WP 2.9.1

Dear god…disregard my post…I feel extremely stupid. It’s all good, it works just fine.

I barely feel like mentionning what I did to make it works…just don’t forget to press “save settings” lol

ok…it’s me again…

I really don’t understand this: yesterday I left my dashboard, thinking that I really tried everything with the sidebar login plugin, to hide dashboard and profile link to everyone except the admin.

When I came back this morning to try other things, I saw that my old settings where still there (last time I tried, my syntax was to put “|USER LEVEL 10” where I “think” I should put “|10”. Thats where I thought that yesterday, I tried to put “|10” but didnt click on “save settings”…which would explain that it was still not working…so, cursing myself, I re-wrote “|10”, clicked “save settings” and it was all good!

But, after playing around with other stuff in my web site (that really shouldnt have anything to do with any changes that could harm the settings of sidebar login), at some point, it stoped working, meaning, nobody sees the dashboard and profile link anymore, not even the admin. I am lost…

I will post what other plugins I’m using, in case it gives hint to other poeple:

Sidebar Login 2.2.9, WordPress 2.9.1, Peter’s Login Redirect and User Access Manager

and the only things I did between the moment I made it work this morning and the moment it stoped working is this: put a file to be downloadable from one of my users (subscriber user), in a page that I had already assigned (days before) to only this user, with the help of User Access Manager, and thats it! So at one point, while logged as admin, I noticed that the Dashboard and Profile link was not there anymore. And the sidebar login settings was still like before: “…|true|10”

Anyone ever had that kind of problem?

Thanx in advance!

Stef
